page.GetType().BaseType, it has been said before, but let me elaborate as to why.

Aspx pages inherit from their code-behind pages, meaning that the inheritance hierarchy looks like this:

Page
BasePage
Login

Where the top is the parent and the bottom is the child.

This allows your code behind to be accessible from the aspx page, without requiring all of the generated code related to your actual aspx page to be copied into the base class page.
